It's the same ridiculous rhetoric.
Let's be real. The business community here freaked out during COVID when employees had leverage and could freely find work with ease while bettering their work-life balance and improving work standards. Landlords were also shell-shocked when demands for rentals went down and housing prices decreased. The taps were fully turned on to flood the labour market with a surplus of labour and to ensure housing prices along with rental prices stabilized again. You also have legitimate companies and shell companies selling work permits now under the LMIA program while also heavily exploiting the workers.
We are not bringing in doctors or qualified tradespeoples. We are bringing in slaves.

Pausing immigration is an absolute must to reform potential abuse and loopholes in the country while also allowing our infrastructure to catch up.
